My sports wishes for the near future
by Anonymous at 8:17 PM
If the Patriots are 15-0 heading into their final game, I hope they don't rest their starters. Every year a team wins the Super Bowl, but in the history of the league, only one team has gone undefeated and that was 35 years ago. And even they didn't go 16-0; they only went 14-0. Going 16-0 is something that no team in history has ever done. It's the right play.
I hope Barry Bonds signs with a team and leads them to the World Series, then declines all post-game interviews afterwards. Then I hope he declines the World Series MVP trophy on live television, walks out of the locker room, and is never seen or heard from again.
I hope A-Rod signs with the Angels for $300 million over 8 seasons, but for the next few years, his team finishes no better than 3rd.
I hope Kenny Williams thinks twice about his "David Eckstein can be my leadoff hitter" idea.
I hope my fantasy team stops its losing streak.
I hope Greg returns from the bio-dome.
I hope the Bulls finally win a game.
I hope Sidney Crosby scores 100 goals this season. I'm not even sure what that means, but I needed a hockey wish.
And finally, I hope that I have an impromptu running race against a handful of my in-laws who are roughly my age and I completely dominate them and leave them in shock at how wicked fast I am. Oh wait, that already happened. Yeah that's right.
I hope Don Shula shoves his asterick idea up his a$$.
I also love the shirts the Pats have been wearing off the field. Front says "I eat" back says, "humble pie".
Well, it looks like you got your Sox wish. Kenny backed away from Eck, and now he's going to repeat the Lovie-ish mantra of "Juan is our shortstop" for another year.
